So far, 2021 hasn’t been kind to Zack Britton. In January, he fell ill after catching COVID-19, as he recently told the New York Post, and he explained that he lost a lot of weight as a consequence. The Yankees were bringing him along slowly through spring training to make sure he was healthy.
However, his buildup was halted on Tuesday, as he reportedly felt some soreness after throwing a bullpen session, which was later revealed to be on his left (pitching) elbow.
The Yankees sent him for an MRI, which revealed a bone chip from his left elbow.
